Abstract (en)
A volume rendering pipeline includes a plurality of processing stages such as a gradient estimation stage, an interpolation stage, a classification stage, an illumination stage, and a compositing stage. The stages are connected to each other by multiplexers. A first multiplexer connects an output of a first stage to an input of a second stage. A second multiplexer connects an output of the second stage to an input of the first stage. A third multiplexer has inputs connected to the output of the first stage and the output of the second stage, the first, second, and third multiplexers are responsive to a select signal to configure the stages of the rendering pipeline for processing the volume data set. <IMAGE>
